Where to take carbon bike to get assessed for damage?

Postby hng049 » Sat Jan 24, 2015 7:39 pm

Hi everyone, had a crash descending down a mountain today, no damage to me but bike a bit scratched up. Any one know somewhere where I can get my bike assessed for any damage (it's full carbon). I've found these guys on google but they seem to be very expensive.

Carbon Bike Repair/Luescher Teknik are the go-to guys for carbon assessnemt and repair.

I'm not affiliated in any way, but have sent several jobs there.
I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.

But don't get them to refinish it. Great at repairs hopeless finishers.

Interesting - the few I've seen are finished well enough that you cannot spot where the repair was made???

I've had one with a slight blue tint on an area of finish that should have been white. All other jobs have been undetectable post-repair.
